A Pirate and her Parrot

Halloween is always so much fun! This year was no different. We started out the week with a fun FHE of pumpkin carving and pizza at the park with lots of friends. Jared carved us a skull in his pumpkin and Dana carved a ghost in the other pumpkin for Bentli. I held Tate and took pictures.

On Wednesday we had our preschool, and boy what a party! Tiff and Abigail sure know how to have fun! Bentli was on such a sugar high and judging from all the candy in our house right now, it will probably take a couple weeks to wear off. We decorated pumpkins, covered cookies in candy and enjoyed a delicious lunch. Tate was a ducky for this party, he was one cute duck!

On Halloween I decided to brave Sea World, and expecting more crowds, instead found a very empty park! It was the perfect day for the trip. The dolphins in the cove were very active and even let us pet them without any food (a $5 value)! The kids were beat, so we got home just in time for a little rest before the ward Truck or Treat. Jared won funniest costume in his 70's suit (thanks to the Platts). Tate was a parrot (you have to use your imagination) he had fun chewing on his beak. Bentli loved trick or treating and was very enthusiastic about the candy she got. We had a great time.

Bentli looked SO adorable as a pirate! I am still in awe with your mad skills putting that ensemble together. And little Tate - could a baby get any cuter?!?! He is just adorable. A perfect little duck & parrot. Did you make his parrot costume too??? You are too much. Seriously.

I am so glad you had a successful Halloween. The pumpkin carving looked like fun too. Good job on those!! Very impressive. We normally do that triangles for eyes/nose/mouth bit.

What a fun Halloween. Tate and Bentli look so cute in their costumes. I still can't believe that Jared wore the wig-love it! I also think the picture of Tate asleep in the stroller is way cute-it's so nice when that happens!
